REPLAY: How Are Interstitial Cystitis, Endometriosis and SIBO Connected and How Can They be Treated Together?

You may remember back in late August I was promoting an event I was speaking at; the wonderful IC Retreat, a virtual 3 day event hosted by Joana Bartlett - all about empowering IC patients with tools, knowledge and support.My presentation was a deep dive into the connection between interstitial cystitis, endometriosis and SIBO and how to manage these conditions together. I was so proud of this presentation and felt so passionately that everyone should have this info, that I asked Joana if I could share it all with you… So, here it is!In this presentation I discuss: The prevalence of endo in the IC and SIBO community and the current research and statistics. The definitions of endo and SIBO, the theories behind endo development and the two key causes of SIBO. How endometriosis can lead to interstitial cystitis or bladder related conditions - and how endometriosis can lead to SIBO! How SIBO can contribute to the development of endo and interstitial cystitis, and the complexity of the chicken or the egg scenario with endo and SIBO. The co-conditions of endo, IC and SIBO: PoTs, h-EDS and MCAS and the key thread connecting them all (ahem: histamine!) and the symptoms to look out for. How endo and SIBO are diagnosed, and how to treat both conditions in context of interstitial cystitis. If you’d rather watch the presentation, you can do so here!More show notes.Free resources:This podcast! Endometriosis Net ColumnEndometriosis News ColumnNewsletterInstagramWays to work with me:This EndoLife, It Starts with Breakfast digital cookbookMasterclasses in endo nutrition, surgery prep and recovery and pain reliefLive and Thrive with Endo: The Foundations DIY courseOne to one coaching info and applicationThis episode is sponsored by BeYou Cramp Relief Patches.
